David Hume
“The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found”
Miguel de Unamuno
“Its attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.”
Thomas Griffith

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Friedrich Nietzsche
